Super interested but can't do Saturdays. Especially the season opener, I have a track day then. Saturdays for me are real car time, Sundays are for relaxing and sim racing.

Lucky they're on Sundays then

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yeah I was editing my post when you replied. For some reason I thought the 10th was a Saturday. I should know, that's my b-day.

Edit: Still going to miss the first race because of the track day.

If you want the shortest car may I suggest the Fiat 500?

Edit: or the Honda Project 2&4

 

[NoStopN]

I have a question that I'm sure I already know the answer to. But, in the case of being awarded a success ballast, are there any stipulations where some of that balance is allowed to be removed? I know the ballast is in play to help equalize the cars, but I'm just wondering if the ballast can be deemed too much when we get into the later races of the series.

It's applied based on Championship position. So, if the 5th place driver drops to 6th, they'll lose the ballast.

I'm thinking about removing ballast completely for the final round.

Oh, so the ballast is only for the top 5 in points? I was thinking you got it based upon each race finishing position. That makes more sense to me now.

Yeah, I tried it on a race by race basis in the Supra Cup. It worked well enough to make things tight at the top. But, this should work even better.

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

I like that change, it was possible to game the system last season (The drop scores played a part in that too).

I need to think about drop scores, now that you mention it.

 

[El_Beardo]

Also, actual power and weight numbers are now in the eligibility/BoP spoiler.

 

[Pigems]

I think I’m gonna go Mclaren, but I still want to test the Ferrari and the NSX a little more though.

My car is already in the cover image so I might as well go with that one. I might change my mind based on testing though, we'll see.
